Serial [18F] FDG-PET after the 2nd cycle of preoperative chemotherapy is predictive for pathological complete response in stage II/III breast cancer Jung SY, Kim SK, Kwon Y, Kim EA, Ko K, Park IH, Lee KS, Kang KW, Noh DY, Shin SH, Jeong JS, Lee S, Kim SW, Kang Hs, Ro J. Center for Breast Cancer, National Cancer Center, Goyang, Korea Serial PET-CTs for predicting pcr in neoadjuvant chemotherapy Methods: Serial PET-CTs performed at 2 or 6 months during neoadjuvant chemotherapy trials of Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine/Trastuzamab or Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine/Lapatanib or Paclitaxel/Gemcitabine/Sunitinib Peak SUV noted and % decrease calculated Endpoint: pathologic Complete Response 3

Serial PET-CTs for predicting pcr in neoadjuvant chemotherapy Conclusions: PET-CT may provide a useful predictive tool as early as the 2 nd cycle for pcr Critiques: low power Variable chemo regimens Variable patients in each group Prospective Outcomes for Patients with Micro-metastases and Macrometastases in Sentinel Nodes: NSABP B-32 Sentinel Node Trial Julian TB, Anderson SJ, Golesorkhi N, Fourchotte, V, Mamounas EP, Wolmark N for NSABP Purpose: Analyze the outcomes of patients with micrometastases and macrometastases in Sentinel Nodes 5
Outcomes of Micro & Macrometastases Methods: Reanalysis of patients with positive nodes enrolled in B-32 trial (randomized patients to SLN/ALND or SLN with ALND only for positive nodes) 1390 eligible patients for reanalysis; 718 had complete data Micrometastases= 0.2-2mm Macrometastases = >2mm Seen on H&E staining required Outcomes of Micro & Macrometastases Results 312 with Micro v. 422 with Macro Mean follow-up 94 months Mean age 54.6 y.o; 91% White 97% received adjuvant therapy Tumor size 71% <2cm, 26% 2-4 cm, 3% >4cm 81% received lumpectomy/alnd 6
Outcomes of Micro & Macrometastases Multivariate Models (HR) DFS: Worse with higher grades (1.2, 2.4), age closer to 50 (quadratic), Larger tumors (2), Macromets (v. Micromets) (1.4), # of positive nodes (1.1), and lack of adjuvant Rx (3.8) OS: Worse with high grade (0.8,2.3), higher age (1.04), larger tumor size (1.21), Macromets (2.4), higher # of positive nodes (1.1), lack of adjuvant therapy (4.5) Outcomes of Micro & Macrometastases 7
Conclusions/Critiques Micrometastases definitely not as bad as Macrometastases On univariate analysis, micromets may not matter at all Doesn t resolve the question on multivariate analysis Doesn t address the issue of IHC found cells Doesn t address WHAT TO DO Surgical Techniques 8
Trans-Axillary Retro-Mammary Approach of Video-Assisted Breast Surgery Uses Single Port in the Axilla and Treats any Tumors Even in the Medial or Lower Side of the Breast Yamashita K, Haga S, Shimizu K Department of Surgery, Nippon Medical School, Tokyo, Japan Purpose: Describe novel technique for breast lumpectomy Video Assisted Trans Axillary Lumpectomy 120 patients stage I and II Mean tumor size 2.2 cm Mean age 50 y.o. Authors have previously presented on other endoscopic techniques via periareolar incision for medial and lower lesions 9
Video Assisted Trans Axillary Lumpectomy Video Assisted Trans Axillary Lumpectomy 10
Video Assisted Trans Axillary Lumpectomy Space was then filled with Absorbable Cotton Average time = 172 minutes Video Assisted Trans Axillary Lumpectomy Shows technical feasibility Extensive time (may come down with experience Leads to difficult defects (authors uses an absorbable implant which is not used in the US for this purpose) 11
Postoperative Issues Risk Factors Associated with Surgical Site Infection after Breast Operations Scow JS, et al. Mayo Clinic (Rochester) Methods Retrospective review of 389 pts undergoing 678 procedures July 2004 - June 2006 SSI definitions based on CDC 1 = purulent drainage 2 = positive culture 3 = wound opened for erythema 4 = physician diagnosis of infection 12
Risk Factors Associated with Surgical Site Infection after Breast Operations Median time to infection = 9 days 19% occurred >30 days after operation Risk Factors Associated with Surgical Site Infection after Breast Operations Conclusion: Avoiding seroma may be key to avoiding preventable infection 13
Abstract analysis Strengths Large Cohort Strong criteria for defining infection Good follow-up (2 yr median followup) Weaknesses Retrospective Statistical proxies not well explored (e.g. is Mastectomy higher because it uses drains?) Locoregional Control 14
Patterns of Locoregional Failure in Women with Invasive Breast Cancer Treated with Mastectomy and Tissue Expander/ Implant Reconstruction Shukla ME, Brooks S, Reddy CA, Djohan R, Dietz J, Tendulkar R - Cleveland Clinic Purpose: Analysis of patients undergoing Tissue Expander/Implant reconstruction to identify patterns of recurrence Patterns of Recurrence in TE/Implant Reconstruction Patients Methods Retrospective Review of Cleveland Clinic experience 2001-2006 for all patients with TE/ I reconstruction for non-metastatic disease Results 326 patients identified 38.3% stage I, 41.8% stage II, 16% stage III, 8.3% neoadjuvant therapy 70% ER +, 20% Her2neu + 21% received PMRT Mean age 48.5 y.o (23-79 15
Patterns of Recurrence in TE/Implant Reconstruction Patients Patterns of Recurrence in TE/Implant Reconstruction Patients 16
Patterns of Recurrence in TE/Implant Reconstruction Patients Patterns of Recurrence in TE/Implant Reconstruction Patients Observations: ~¼ of patients with >4 nodes and ~ ¾ patients with 1-3 nodes didn t receive PMRT Locoregional recurrence in patients undergoing TE/I in this series is similar to other cohorts observed Critiques Lack of information on systemic adjuvant therapy 17
